I have an almost 3 year old English Mastiff names Mercedes who is 152lbs. She is very hyper and is never loose when the birds are loose. The birds were here first and got to know them as a puppy but I would never trust her loose while my birds are out. She is just to big compared to them. When she was little in a crate my meyers used to fly on her crate and stick her head through the bars and try and bite her head. It was funny to watch because the dog just barked at her, I even have an old pic of it somewhere. She has gotten bit on the nose by my macaw (just a little to close to the cage).

I also have 4 outdoor cats that do sneak in occasionally but again my birds are never loose if they are in the house. I also have 3 hermit crabs as one just passed away. Its like a zoo over here!

i have 4 dogs, they are whippets and do have a high prey drive for anything that runs across the ground. but are scared to death of a parrot and avoid it at all costs. :D

In all seriousness I have a 20 gal community fishtank with mollies, loaches, a pleco, african dwarf frogs, and platies. My betta, Captain Shakespeare, is in his own 5 gal tank with an algae- eater buddy named Humphrey.

Awww...such cute pictures! I have a brown lop bunny as well. We have 6 cats, 2 lop bunnies, our Senegal, a lovebird, a finch and 3 budgies. In the future it would be easier to stick to one type of animal...but I am a sucker for an animal in need...

All our separated by a door. The birds are in our room, the bunnies have a room where they roam free in our finished basement and the cats get the rest of the house. Sometimes we put the cats in the basement for a couple of hours and bring Bella up to the living room for a visit...

I also had a pet flea I named Bob. He used to hang out in front of my computer, and then decided to ride on my hand while I was typing. He was a fun little guy flying around trying to follow my hand. He even ate sugar out of my hand.


...okay...now I'm curious...it wasn't a flea...fleas don't fly or eat sugar...what did it look like?

We have 2 cats that are family pets. One guinea pig, my sister's. Two betta fish, more family pets, and I have 2 lizards as well as my birds.

The birds have their own room so they are never out with the cats around, I've heard too many stories to ever trust my cats around my birds.
